'Honestly, I don't think I can ever forgive individuals responsible, although we have actually striven to ignore it, and them, as quickly as possible.'

Nevertheless, while the social services conducted their examination, she stated, the household needed to reside in lodging where other responsible adults existed.

She included: 'This was including insult to severe injury and bearing in mind my steady decrease in health typically, I was actually starting to misery.'
